JAKARTA - Social Minister Syaifullah Yusuf hopes that classes at SMAN 72 Jakarta in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, will resume soon following the explosion that injured dozens of students on Friday, November 7.

"I received information from the KPAI Commissioner that classes will resume next week," he said, accompanied by Diyah Puspitarini, Commissioner of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), at Cempaka Putih Islamic Hospital, Central Jakarta, Sunday, November 9.

He said that starting this week, students at the school will continue to learn, albeit temporarily online.

"But we'll see how things go, because the children are receiving psychosocial support first," he said.

That's the most important thing, and after the learning process is complete, it will be evaluated three days later. Next week, preparations may be made for face-to-face learning.

"So, online learning will begin on Monday," he said.

KPAI Commissioner Diyah Puspitarini expressed her gratitude for the Minister of Social Affairs' visit to the hospital. This demonstrates the government's concern, having personally visited the children affected by the explosion at SMAN 72 Jakarta.

"Together with ministries and institutions, we will continue to support the children and even monitor this case until justice is served," she said.

She also expressed her appreciation for the Cempaka Putih Islamic Hospital for providing medical rehabilitation to the children, which will also include psychosocial rehabilitation.

"Thank you to the Ministry of Social Affairs for providing psychosocial support and social rehabilitation to the children," she said.

The Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) revealed that the number of victims of the explosion at SMAN 72 Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, on Friday, November 7, afternoon, has increased to 96.

"Earlier, the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit, conveyed the number of victims at the Jakarta Islamic Hospital, Cempaka Putih. We emphasized that the number of victims was 96 people," said the Head of Public Relations of the Jakarta Metro Police, Senior Commissioner of Police Budi Hermanto, at the Jakarta Metro Police, Saturday, November 8.
